Fishing is an activity that captivates many from childhood
What tackle will be needed for perch fishing?
Before going fishing, you need to buy a fishing rod, a reel with line, rigs, and additional items. Most often, perch is caught with a spinning rod that falls into the "light" category; their length should be at least 180 cm and no more than 240 cm. If recreational fishing is planned, an "ultralight" rod with a small lure is suitable: its weight will be no more than 2.5 grams. When choosing a reel, it is important to pay attention to its weight ratio with the spinning rod itself: if it is heavier, the chance of successfully landing a perch will be much lower. As for the fishing line, its thickness should be from 0.2 mm and thicker, even if visiting a water body with artificially reared small fish.Among rigs, the following types are most popular among perch fishing enthusiasts:
Texas rig. This is the most popular option, in which the lure hardly snags on bottom irregularities and river plants.
Carolina rig. It differs from the previous design by moving the weight further away from the hook.
Drop shot. In this case, the weight is hung at the end of the line, and the lure on the hook is placed at a distance.
Offset leader. This rig is used in spinning fishing; the weight is fixed on the main line, and the bait on an offset sliding leader.
You can select and buy quality equipment for perch fishing at the online store "Fish-Fish". It offers a huge assortment of rods, various lures, reels, individual line sets, and rigs.
Best lures
You can catch the striped predator with a crankbait, perch spoon, spinner, popper, or jig. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to the size and weight of the bait: it should not be too massive. On average, a perch spoon weighs 4-5 grams. Fishing becomes most effective using baits of silver, yellow, and orange colors.
A competent approach to selecting tackle will allow you to catch a large perch on the Dnieper at any time of year, regardless of whether the angler is an amateur or a professional.
